Bringing the LE w You?
@LietKynes bbm sbm and Others
I wonder if - that is, hypothetically - if the Diemels had contacted local MO LE before they went to the farm and asked LE to accompany them to the farm, what LE would have said or done.
At that point, what would have been the Diemels' complaint against Nelson? Would it have been a criminal complaint LE could have acted on? Then and there, at the farm that day? Later?
Do I recall correctly -- KS man w 'Cash Cow' biz (dairy farm, reefer trucks, pole buildings) who was interviewed by KC area TV stn,~Aug/early Sept?, said, ~ my paraphrasing ---
Diemel told KS man he asked/demanded(?) Nelson send him check. Nelson sent Diemels a check, which was returned by Nelson's bank as NSF, prompting Diemels to make in person visit to see Nelson. IRC.
I wonder, what, if anything, could local LEOs have done that day, if hypo LE had accompanied Diemels to the farm. Anything which would have prevented these tragic deaths? Maybe the LE's mere presence?
Hope that helped.
Yes it was Nick Diemel he had 4 children a new baby girl a small boy and I think it was a 12 year old daughter and 15 year old son (not really sure on the oldest ones ages_One of the victims has at least one child, I think ?
This is the time of year for a 'pumpkin patch' outing.
Think carving silly pumpkin faces, hot cider and cookies as well !
This man's child should be looking forward to fall fun with his parents and time spent with the uncle and other relatives at Thanksgiving holiday ...
JGN is an unspeakable monster.
Knowingly writing bad checks is a criminal matter by intent. For a person who has allegedly murdered two men, bouncing a check would be 'small potatoes' ; imo. It's considered a felony to knowingly bounce checks, especially if over the amount of 500. Which JGN far exceeded. The Diemel brothers should have filed a criminal complaint . I'm assuming in the area the check was issued from, MO. This could've been attended to without the need to travel. Again I'm assuming.
^bbm sbmBut even a trip to MO might have been in order and present their case to the local LE ?
How much 'pull' does this Nelson family have with the local LE ?
I'm wondering that for a reason. Might be nothing.
Have there have been cases in the past where LE feared anyone ?
It's terrible for these lost lives -- but maybe the Diemel's thought it could be resolved like rational people ? It's doubtful they ever thought they were in mortal danger; fgs ! Hope that helped.
There's also small claims court....
You asked "Have there have been cases in the past where LE feared anyone ?" My opinion on that, and I believe this happens in ALL cities or towns, is YES! Police have family and loved ones the same as most of us, they're humans too. They can fear anyone for a number of reasons.Knowingly writing bad checks is a criminal matter by intent.

I found this :
If the check writer doesn't respond or refuses to pay, you can go to small claims court. ... The clerk's office can tell you what damages you can recover in addition to the original amount of the bounced check plus court fees. In some states you can sue the person for up to three times the amount of the check.
Thankfully we don't have experience there. A friend of mine has.
Against her own brother-in-law, a long, sad story. But I digress.
Here's something :
Use these six ways to collect on a bad check without going to court.
- Contact the Bank First. ...
- Call Your Customer. ...
- Send a Certified Letter. ...
- Call Your Local District Attorney's Office. ...
- Use a Check Recovery Service. ...
- Contact a Collection Agency. ...
- Secure Your Cash Flow While You Collect on Bad Checks.
LBM@LietKynes Your post (yesterday?) said:
"Apparently the brothers were owed around 250,000 !
Sadly --- if you are going to collect that , you'd better bring LE with you."
I took ^ literally, so was asking about "Better bring LE with you."
Because even if the Diemels had asked for LE to accompany them on visit to farm,
I could not think of anything much local MO LEOs could do, then and there.
Did you intend for that phrase to be taken literally?
Contacting local MO authorities re a check returned NSF, to pursue criminal complaint v. Nelson?
Yes, as you posted below today, Diemels could have done (likely from WI, imo).
And yes, that's little, bitty small taters for Nelson who had already spent time in prison for federal crimes re fraudulent loans.
Have we seen a concrete figure on $ amt of check? IIRC, $250,000 is amt, the KS mentioned. If that was ck amt., that amt probably exceeds jurisdictional limit for 'small claims court' in any state. Just checked for MO*, $5000 tops.
Re your comment re Diemels possibly going to MO to present their case to local LE?
AFAIK, Diemels did not "have a case" to present to LE, other than the NSF check.
Is it possible before arriving at farm, they had info about poor condition of their cattle? I don't recall that.
Did they know their cattle had been transported to another farm (Amish farmer)?
Two deaths, so many ppl hurt by one horrible, awful man. And the poor cattle.
And yes, your post helped.

* "A. WHO YOU CAN SUE AND WHAT YOU CAN SUE FOR Any person or business with a civil claim that DOES NOT EXCEED $5,000.00 may bring a suit in small claims court. The $5,000.00 limit does not include court costs and interest on the $5,000.00 which the judge may award you. You may still file a claim if the amount exceeds $5,000.00. However, if you choose to do this, you give up your right to claim any amount exceeding $5,000.00 both in your present suit and in any other claim involving the same person or business and the same issues." from Mo.

The $250,000.00 amount wasn't sitting right in my head, so I did some research, and looked over Foster's interviews,but that's a whole nother issue for me.
ND and JD father reported the brothers went to MO for a 250,000.00 check. Foster said ND and JN had a separate agreement and that put 100 calves at JNs. According to Diemel Livestock, calves sell for $50.00 a head in groups of 30 or more. So that is $5000.00 for alleged 100 calves.
Now let's assume that all 100 calves made it to "weaning weight" which according to the USDA is between 7 and 8 months old, and weighing 500 to 700 lbs. If sold they are sold per cwt. Which means that at market prices now 100 weaning weight calves would only bring in $104,300.00. Prices do fluctuate throughout the year. But according to Foster, JN and ND started in January. By the end of July, the calves would have just been at weaning weight.
We know this didn't happen.
And Foster said in an interview that he bought 131 calves and received 35 back. Then states he assumes the other 96 are dead. Well he did not have 96 missing calves, there were 76 missing calves.
I feel there was something shady involving Foster and JN.
And also in my opinion, I feel TSF returned the day LEO was speaking with JN, because JN told TSF his plan and she wanted to establish a clear alibi by going to Branson with family members. IMO, she was aware of what was happening and what the out come was going to be. I feel very large parts of some people's stories are missing. Just like the numbers aren't quite adding up.
I spoke with a couple dairy farmers in my area and they said there is no way on gods green earth ANYONE would pay 250,000.00 for 100 bottle fed calves. And even at auction they would not receive that kind of money... Somethings off.
So I've spent the day pouring over statements that DF in KS has made. Back in August he did an interview that he said he and JNs relationship had started to sour, so he started researching JN AND contacting people who were dealing with JN. One of those contacts being ND.The $250,000.00 amount wasn't sitting right in my head, so I did some research, and looked over Foster's interviews,but that's a whole nother issue for me.

I can't find the link (perhaps in the 1st thread?) It was mentioned that the Diemels had previously sued someone that owned them money. It's not like this would have been the 1st situation they had been in this position with.
Apparently the brothers were owed around 250,000 !
Sadly --- if you are going to collect that , you'd better bring LE with you.
Not blaming the two men.
They may have been too trusting.
I'm wondering who else may have been involved ?
Just seems like a perp of his 'intelligence' would need some 'extra hands'.

2 Wisconsin brothers went to Missouri on business. Now they are missing.
"They didn't make their flight," the mother of Justin and Nick Diemel said. "They found the abandoned truck on the side of the road with their carry-ons and that was it."

A 35-year-old father of four and his 24-year-old brother have gone missing after traveling from their homes in Wisconsin to Missouri on business.
Justin and Nick Diemel, 24 and 35, respectively, who own Diemel Livestock in northeast Wisconsin, were supposed to come home Sunday but didn't make their scheduled flight, officials said.

Their rental truck was found in a commuter parking lot in Holt, about 30 miles northeast of the Kansas International Airport, on Monday with no sign of the two men, authorities said.
Nick Diemel's wife said she spoke to her husband on the phone Sunday morning before they were supposed to visit a client.
“Nick is a father of four kids. He's my high school sweetheart,” Lisa Diemel told WMTV, am NBC affiliate in Madison, Wisconsin.

"Him not contacting us... we didn't go for long when he was on trips to check on me or talk to our children."
The Clinton County Sheriff’s Office said Wednesday that searches "have been conducted and are underway in Clinton and Caldwell counties" and that "multiple agencies are involved in the investigation, and multiple leads continue to be researched."
Family members in Wisconsin expressed shock about the brothers' disappearance.
"I have no clue what's going on,” Nicholas' and Justin's mother, Pam, told WGBA, an NBC affiliate in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
“I can't even believe that something like this can happen. You go on a business trip and you're coming back with the person you met with. They didn't make their flight. They found the abandoned truck on the side of the road with their carry-ons and that was it."
This is a copy of a news story on CBS News website.
2 Questions.
#1 Just how often do the brothers travel for business? Seems very routine for them. No growers I know fly commercial all over the country to check on cattle.
#2 "I can't even believe that something like this can happen. You go on a business trip and you're coming back with the person you met with." Who were JD & ND meeting with and supposed to return with. JN. Another farmer from the area. An unnamed business associate? If not JN has that person been reported missing?
